“Someday All This Will Be Yours”

From what little I heard, Diane Rehms' program with guest author Hendrick Hartog sounds inteesting. Topic: Children who look after aged parents and the inheritance expectations of those children.

Hartog's book: Someday All This Will Be Yours: A History of Inheritance and Old Age.

One listener called in to say he disliked receiving a hefty inheritance from his father. He felt uncomfortable "profiting" from his parents.  But not uncomfortable enough to disclaim his new wealth, apparently.
